HTC One Review

HTC has unveiled another smart phone that toughens the competition
with its rivals which is named as HTC One. This is one of the biggest
handsets from HTC with all the enhanced specs and high end features.

To what extent HTC
could stand up the competition against the new editions and the
upcoming editions from its rivals? Let us peep into the details of the
new smart handset and find out the answer.

Design :

This can be termed as the best beautifully crafted smart phones in
the HTC range. The aluminum body is wrapped on the body which weighs
only 143 g, because of its huge size of 5.41 inches tall, 2.69 inches
wide the weight may not be a matter. It has a flimsy body of 0.37 inches
thickness and this can be handled easily and offers good grip with its
slight curved edges.

The continuous rear part has a flawless flat design equipped with a
camera lens and flash on the top part and the HTC logo at the center.
The arrangement of the buttons is fine with the power button and head
phone jack on the top, USB port at the bottom and the volume rocker is
on one of the sides. The front part is unique with the clear screen
fitted with two soft keys below, speaker grilles are present on both
above and below of the screen, the front facing camera beside the
speaker grille above the screen and the sensor on the other side. On the
whole it can be said as one of the best crafted Android phones.

Display :

The 4.7 inches Super LCD 3 powered touch screen is the real part we
look for in any smart device. The pixel resolution offered to this
screen is about 1920×1080 pixels that is HD quality at a pixel density
of 469 PPI which offers ultimate sharpness and clarity. The Gorilla
glass 2 covering protects the screen from any external noises and
scratches. The color contrast is good and the balancing of the brighter
colors, presenting the details in a very catchy manner is the best
thing.

Software and Hardware :

The 4.1.2 Jelly Bean Android Version is the software version
available in this smart phone. The Sense 5 technology of HTC is really a
great enhancement to the device with all new apps and widgets, the look
of the apps have been changed a lot. The user interface provided by the
OS along with the presence of Sense 5 technology is a crack shot.

Another surprise HTC
has brought to you is the Blink feed technology, the Blink feed
technology is a scroll of tiles on the home screen that consists of the
latest updates from different websites that you link up to. For example
if you set the updates from face book, twitter, technology or news sites
the latest updates will scroll on the home screen in tiles format. You
can simply click on the tile to select it or scroll down the tiles to
get new updates.

The hardware configuration we find in this handset is on top notch
with 1.7 GHz quad core processor supported by 2GB RAM that enhances the
performance and supports the hard core games. The internal memory is
opted with 32 GB memory and 64 GB memory that can be selected based on
the user requirement. The absence of card slot memory is a great draw
back as far as concerned.

Battery Life :

HTC has thought of enhancing the battery backup with the induced
Li-Po 2300 mAh battery. The battery is really a good factor on the
moderate use and it also depends upon the type of apps and the tasks you
are performing with the handset. This is good and gives backup for
almost about 8 hours approximately. The brightness adjustment however
protects the battery to some extent.

Camera :

With all the latest enhancements why does HTC opted for only 4 MP
camera? The answer is HTC bothered or focused more on the sensors than
the camera size which means the sensors are equipped with ultra pixel
technology which is called 1/3 inch sensor. The ultra pixel method in
the sensors means it lets in more light to get the same quality as a big
size camera. The results are efficient and the shots are simply the
best one we have seen for a 4 MP camera. The modes like HDR, panorama,
Night mode etc., are clearer than we expected it to be. Each detail is
framed carefully in the shots; the filters can be applied for the images
and most prominent settings are present in this camera.

The 2.1 MP front facing camera is quite good to have a good video
chat and self shots that makes it more usable. The 1080 pixels HD
quality video can be captured continuously at 30 frames per second even
in HDR mode.

The interesting feature about the camera is the ZOE mode which is a
new feature like the ultra pixel method. The Zoe mode is used to record
the video 0.6 seconds before the shot and three seconds after the shots
which makes it alive and moving. This is a latest and exciting feature
but it needs a little upgrade or enhancement.

Features :

The connectivity features are really good that make the things more
exciting with the 4.0 Bluetooth connectivity, the WI-FI connectivity
with the hot spot and direct connectivity and more over the basic things
like USB, internet etc. are present to fulfill our needs.

Multimedia Features :

The features are included with two music player one from Google and
the other from HTC that are perfectly usable and efficient. The video
play back is also present that make the video watch more exciting. The
Beats sound system shows out excellent sound quality, in addition to
this we have got two built in speakers that are the real power that
maintains the volume and the quality in an utmost way. The gaming
features are quite fascinating and even the hardcore games are played in
a better way.

Additional Features :

The first thing we deal with is the KID mode which is an app for
customizing the environment by selecting the apps especially for kids
like the story books, recordings etc. The HTC Sense TV is another
technology that makes to control your TV that is it can be used as a
universal remote by following some rules and methods to integrate the
phone with the device. The HTC Watch is a portal provided by HTC to
download your favorite movies from this which is payable.

The Car app works as a navigator when we are in driving presenting the road map. The basic apps like the calendar, photo viewer, document editors and the Googleapps like the Google search; Gmail, Gtalk, You Tube, Play store etc. are included to be more usable. The social networking sites like the Facebook, Twitter etc. are integrated to avail the users with social networking experience.

Call off :

The latest smart phone HTC One is the best smart phone in the present
trend with all the latest specs and new technology that really amuses
the users at a price range around 45000 app.
